Hi all I,v got a red 855 R of the manual variety and now knocking on 181000miles

Did you get a reply from the company on the rip kit boost pipes?Thanks in advance

I used todo that on my oval circuit race cars niles never had any problems.Also used to take the clip off the gearbox end so the shaft would go in and out gearbox quicker and easier.Only for speed...

I generally pop the balljoint out using a long bar across the top of the arm and use the car chassis rail as a point to lever against.Be careful of the balljoint gaiters,not to split them.When...

you could disconnect the throttle cable from under the plastic cover under the bonnet.Blip the throttle using the actual throttle linkage.If it returns to idle nice then happy days you got a sticky...

I believe the ptc is just an element that heats up and burns the excess that comes through the pcv system.Wouldn,t harm to clean it up. As for the random puffs would be to concerned untill the puffs...

Just an avenue to check but i have heard of the car not starting if the earth from the coil is not earthing properly.The one that bolts to the inner wing.If this is lengthened by 6 inches it can bolt...

I believe there is a rubber grommet on the passenger side in the bulkhead.Make a nice tight fitting hole and feed the wire through there.hope this helps

I am presuming the dump valve principle is still the same.That being it should be position in the turbo pipe work as close to the throttle body as possible.So with the rip pipework this would be in...

Hi,the standard stereo is double din.But a single din stereo fits in there and there is a couple of options to fill the gap left.Autoleads do a 3cd holder which can double up as a little...

Could possibly be a blockage in the a/c system creating to much pressure and switching the a/c off.

on an outside shot it could possibly be the cables have gone stiff and not quite letting you engage gear fully all the time and then popping out when the drive is taken up.Maybe even an...

Dont be so convinced because of the water coming out of the exhaust,this is ment to happen.Any car equipped with a catalytic converter creates water after the cat,due to the chemical reaction that...

just seen this thread count me in unity

i found an old 3/4 extension and cut the end of then used a spanner on that when it is in the auxilary belt tensioner.hth

I believe the R was 20mm lower than the standard 850's so a 40mm drop will effectively give around a 20mm drop on an R

Out of interest if there was quite abit of oil could it be possible the pcv could need replacing?

Shouldn't have any problems.Fitted one to my car around a year ago everthing still ok.The blanking plate on the turbo was a bit fiddly but be patient and stay calm and it aint to bad.Try to fit the...

Just an extra option to check or swap if you have one laying around,but could the boost control solenoid cause this sort of a fault?Restricting the boost due to being faulty.

Just another thought if you are getting what sounds like a wheel bearing noise it is possible it could be a tyre that has gone mishaped causing it.If you jack each corner up and run your hands round...

Hi i work in a ford garage in highworth near swindon.We,v had an st in before with a howling/whistling.if you take the oil filler cap off it stopped.Turned out to be a breather pipe down by/behind...

Only way i,v known the engine light to come on due to a thermostat failure is when its stuck shut and the engine overheated.The cylinder head temperature sensor brought on the engine light due to the...

Is your car fitted with a pollen/odour filter?If it is and has become blocked this can have a major effect on the blower air power.As for the noise,possible fan motor bearings?

Yeah you can mate.Unplug the connector and just unscrew it.It has a tyre schrader valve on the pipe so no gas comes out.Have a pick or screwdriver handy incase it is stuck open though

It is more worth while fitting a clutch kit rather than just a plate.Aslong as the kit is for the same size engine as your car then it will be the one you require. i.e if your 850 is a 2.5 non turbo...
